H-E-B

Even Texans who were already devoted to the hometown favorite discovered new reasons to like the nation's best supermarket chain, which began in 1905 as Mrs. Florence Butt's basic store in the Hill Country.

H-E-B provides good-affordable rates on a large variety of high-quality own-brand products, in-store tortillerias, and an exceptional curbside pickup program-appeared to be much more vital now. There are people who believe they are shopping at the best supermarkets in the country, and then there are H-E-B customers who know for a fact that they are.

H-E-B coordinated donations to relief efforts following the fire and explosion at a fertilizer factory in West, Texas. To get the community involved in the relief effort, the company donated $50,000 to the American Red Cross and began a checkstand campaign benefiting the charity. According to a news release, all donations from the campaign will benefit the American Red Cross' disaster relief efforts. H-E-B also activated its emergency response units, sending the H-E-B Eddie Garcia Mobile Kitchen and water tanker to West, as well as meals and water supplies to victims and first responders.
